...skippered a crew of seven Harvard yachtsmen to a fifth place finish in the two-day McMillan Cup Regatta at Annapolis, Md., over the weekend. The Naval Academy invited ten colleges, including six from the Ivy League, to race its fleet of 44-foot yawls in the Regatta's 38th running...
Captain Joseph P. Smith of the U.S. 38th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron gunned his RF-101 Voodoo jet down the base runway at Ramstein, West Germany.

The league-leading Chicago Black Hawks were playing the Toronto Maple Leafs, and all eyes were on Chicago's great Bobby Hull as he picked up the loose puck and rocketed down the rink. Hull had already scored one goal (his 38th in 48 games), and he was taking aim again when-oof!-Bob Baum hit him with a crunching body check.
